There is a rule that horses are not allowed to gallop in the city, Du Shiyi took more than ten members of the Cui family, and reluctantly controlled the speed of the horse when he arrived at the west gate of Taolin County, but he did not see the Cui Xiaofat man who was left at the city gate as expected. Because there was no passage or public inspection in and out of the main road of Guanjin on his body, Liu Mo, the Cui family member who was blocked at the city gate, rushed over in two steps, and shouted with an impatient face: "Du Langjun, when I followed all the way from afar, Cui Langjun's group of four people had already followed those business travelers out of the city!" But when I went to the city gate to ask them, these guards still refused to admit them, and I could see them clearly! ”

That Liu County Lieutenant originally boasted about Haikou in front of Du Shiyi, but when he heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he was angry at the moment and the guards questioned him sharply. The guard still refused to admit it at first, but when he saw that Liu County Lieutenant spoke sharply, and even ordered someone to take him back to Taolin County to ask for the crime, he panicked.

After all, the caravan carried a lot of goods, and the inspection on the list was correct, and the more people in the caravan than in the public inspection were obviously from noble backgrounds, and he got another benefit, so he turned a blind eye!

"Shaofu, it's really not favoritism. A certain did find a slightly chubby young man Langjun in the previous business trip, and there were four other people, but the owner of the business trip said that it was a temporary hire in this county to go to Chang'an, because there are many business trips to Chang'an in the near rì, and there are often such situations in the middle, so I was confused for a while and let go, and the caravan walked for half an hour, and then it was all scattered people out of the city......"

Without waiting for him to explain anything, Du Shiyi frowned and asked, "There are a total of five more people in the team, instead of four?" You can probably see what is the relationship between the other four people and that Cui Langjun? ”

"This ......" knew that this was related to whether he would be questioned for this, and the guard racked his brains for a moment to recall the situation in the forefront, and it took a long time before he suddenly patted his head and said, "Three of them seem to be the servants of Cui Xiaolangjun, and the other doesn't seem to be exactly a person from the road, and his eyes are looking around, looking a little strange." But since those caravans have accommodated them, they have not taken it to heart......"

"You fool!" Liu County Lieutenant thought that the major theft case of Guo Tingshi's frequent questioning in the state had not been solved, and he almost went crazy, "The unsolved case in front of you is still there, you dare to be so derelict in your duties!" Someone is coming, take him back first, and then interrogate him when he returns! Du Langjun, without further ado, there is no fork in the road for dozens of miles out of the city here, let's catch up first! ”

Du Shiyi didn't look at the guard who begged for mercy again and again but was taken down, nodded and followed the county lieutenant Liu out of the city, and the Cui family in the back hurriedly followed. Although he was already forty miles away, he looked old, but the county lieutenant Liu was not only extremely equestrian, but also frequently went down to the road to look at the traces on the road. Du Shiyi saw that every time he dismounted, he would get on the horse and continue to lead the way after checking for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "What did Liu Shaofu see?" ”

Liu County Lieutenant was about to flick the reins of his horse and move forward, and when he heard this, he explained with some embarrassment: "This is the tracing ability that I learned from my father in my early years of hunting. The reason is very simple, there are many people who enter the city early in the morning to sell vegetables, vegetables, meat, and firewood, but there are not many people who are in a hurry to go out of the city, especially the business travelers because the previous robbery was all carefully concentrated together, and they did not set off at this time, so the fresh traces of leaving the city should be left by the first group of people. Therefore, just look at whether there is a large group of people passing and the rut marks on the road, you can see the clues. The mark just now is fresh, we should be able to catch up! ”

These can be seen from those micro traces, Du Shiyi thought of the first time they met, the county lieutenant Liu checked the official inspection, obviously cautious, and later when he spoke, he seemed enthusiastic and attentive, and he asked for help in case of trouble, but he was also refreshing, he couldn't help but feel that this old Ming Jing was a person who knew how to do things and knew how to deal with people. After about a quarter of an hour of chasing him out of the city, he saw a caravan of twenty or thirty men in front of him. When County Lieutenant Liu chased his group to the side of the caravan, and County Lieutenant Liu shouted for them to stop, he quickly looked at the group with his eyes.

Cui Xiaochubby didn't expect Du Shiyi to come so quickly, and as soon as he saw him at this moment, he immediately snorted coldly and turned his head away, while the bodyguard Cui Ting and the two servants were relieved. The rest of the caravan faced their line of people who were chasing after the wind and dust servants, and the two in charge of the caravan frowned with slightly gorgeous clothes, while most of the others reached out and put their swords on their waists, as if they were facing a great enemy. In this way, the man mentioned by the gate guard at the beginning immediately caught his eye.

Taking advantage of the fact that Liu County Wei Ce immediately stepped forward to question, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Liu Mo, a member of the Cui family, to come over, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the brown-clothed man next to Twenty-five Lang?" ”

Liu Mo didn't sleep all night, and galloped all the way out of the city, as soon as he stopped, he couldn't help yawning, and then he couldn't help but yawn, and then he hurriedly said: "It seems that it was a kind person who took Twenty-five Lang to find that hostel last night." ”

"How coincidentally?" Du Shiyi raised his eyebrows, and when he met the people chasing after him, the middle-aged man in brown seemed to be very uncomfortable, not only always avoiding his scrutinizing gaze, but also frequently looking left and right, and the suspicion in his heart suddenly became even greater.

As he spoke, County Lieutenant Liu's sharp questioning quickly made the two principals in this caravan speechless. Last night, Cui Xiaochubby was suddenly taken to the hostel to ask for treasures, and they were not without them

I was suspicious, after all, there had only been a major theft case before, but Cui Twenty-five Lang was accompanied by an extremely skilled bodyguard, and the two servants also showed that they were from a big family, and their own conversation and knowledge showed that they were not from ordinary humble families, so they gradually believed it. The reason for taking people out of the city is because Cui Twenty-five Lang also promised that when they arrived in the capital all the way, they would be introduced to their uncle, Wang Qinglan, a member of the household department from the Taiyuan Wang family!

Cui Xiaofat saw that the two principals of the caravan were reprimanded by a middle-aged man he didn't know, and Du Shiyi seemed to be watching the excitement from behind, he was suddenly annoyed, and immediately shouted loudly: "Du Nineteen, what do you want to do!" I already said last night, you go yours, I go mine, you don't have to worry about my affairs! ”

"You think I'm so trying to mind your business?" Du Shiyi said mercilessly, "If it weren't for Mrs. Zhao Guo having to entrust you to me and order me to send you to Chang'an City safely, even if you run to the edge of the sky, it has nothing to do with me!" Whether you go back by yourself or I have someone escort you back, you choose! ”

"Are you ......" Cui Xiaofatzi was so angry that he was about to sneer at each other, but Du Shiyi's gaze suddenly swept over him, and he actually looked at the two principals of the caravan, and said, "And you, I just thought that Twenty-five Lang was a famous disciple and brought him out, and even lied when the city gate was checked, do you know the consequences?" Yonghui law is clearly written, and those who are private will be imprisoned for one year! Although the city gate is not Guanjin, but now Taolin County and Shaanzhou are both in Dasuo, when the previous giant thieves are also guilty! ”

Unless this Yonghui law is a legal official who studies the law, or an official who specializes in dealing with these people in the county party, ordinary scholars will not be involved at all. Therefore, County Lieutenant Liu heard this at first glance, and couldn't help but look at Du Shiyi again.

can be buttoned down with such a big hat, this young boy is well-read!

Cui Xiaofat was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the two caravan leaders were like dirt, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Du Nineteen, don't talk nonsense to scare people!" ”

"Scare? This is Liu Shaofu of Taolin County, you ask him if this is scaring people? The guard who let you out at the gate have been questioned, and you deserve the same sin! ”

As soon as he heard that Du Shiyi wanted such fanfare, and County Lieutenant Liu was obviously on Du Shiyi's side, Cui Xiaofat was finally stunned. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, he has been reading at home since he was a child, but he still has little knowledge, this little thing will develop to such a point, he really didn't expect it. Just when he was angry and desperately trying to think of an idea, Du Shiyi shouted loudly in his ears.

"Also, who are you, and why did you get into the caravan?"

The people up and down the caravan were panicking, and when they heard this sound, they all immediately looked at Du Shiyi, and saw that the direction of his finger was a brown-clothed man beside Cui Twenty-five Lang, and they couldn't help but look at each other. Who is this person? Wasn't this person a servant who followed behind him when Cui Twenty-five Lang came to meet them this morning?

The brown-clothed man who had been lowering his head shook all over, and when he took a deep breath and raised his head, he said with a smile: "How could Du Langjun not recognize so-and-so, so-and-so is not the ...... beside Cui Langjun?"

Almost in an instant, he was only a few steps away from Cui Xiaofatzi, and he jumped over, and at some point there was a snowy dagger in his hand, and went straight to Cui Xiaofat's neck. In the face of this sudden blow, Cui Xiaofatzi, who was still thinking about how to exonerate people just now, suddenly had a blank mind, and even forgot to dodge and move.

It wasn't until a huge force pushed him out at once, and he suddenly woke up after falling heavily on the ground, but the hot pain in his legs and arms made him completely lose the instinct to move, and he just watched stupidly as Cui Ting, the bodyguard left by his father, jumped up from behind him, and reflexively chased the brown-clothed man who was holding his shoulders and running to the wheat field on the side of the road. On the ground, the dagger looked extremely glaring in the rì light.

Only a few people saw the scene just now, when Du Shiyi opened his mouth to drink through the man in brown, and when he answered and then burst into attack, the copper gall in Du Shiyi's hand had already flown over like an arrow from the string. Gongye Jue taught this skill he practiced as diligently as swordsmanship in Songshan, plus there were many practical opportunities, whether it was used to lay down pine cones on trees, or pheasants flying around with wings fluttering in the mountains and forests, and hares jumping around, he gradually had quite accurate heads, which once made Cui Jianxuan joke that he didn't need to practice archery. Even so, it was thanks to the big bodyguard Cui Ting who hugged Cui Xiaofat in time and rolled away on the spot!

County Lieutenant Liu was stunned by this sudden scene, and only after a moment of awakening did he ask: "Du Langjun, ...... this person?"

"I just didn't know that there was such a person among the Cui family's servants, so I was a little suspicious, but I didn't expect him to jump off the wall in a hurry!"

Du Shiyi smiled bitterly, ignored the jaw-dropping caravan people, jumped off the horse and went straight to Cui Xiaofat, who was in a daze on the ground, stretched out his hand and dragged the person up. Seeing that he was depressed, and the clothes on his elbows and legs were torn, he raised his head and looked in the direction Cui Ting was chasing as if he hadn't seen it at all.

I just hope it's his thoughts, maybe that guy is just an ordinary thief!
